Thank You I Replied
You are a clown she said.
Thank you I replied, adding a smile.
Your buffoonish ways bother me, she added.
A smirk now. I had not noticed before how lopsided her mouth is.
I am sorry, I apologize. I was not listening.
You are dumb, she added. Spelling it out.
You are D O M. Dumb.
I am careful not to laugh.
Not wanting to hurt my best friend’s feelings.
